Well guess who I saw today
Standing outside my favorite cafe
Sipping his morning coffee
On my street.
I said, "How are you?
I'm just fine.
I think that I recognize that tie."
He said, "Sorry I never got to say good-"
"By the way, I'm doing much much better.
I was just a little under the weather,
But pay no mind to me..."
'Cause you know it only hurts when I breathe.
When I make believe
That maybe he truly needs me.
It only hurts here and there.
Why doesn't he care?
Doesn't he ever miss me?
It only hurts me when I breathe.
So you finally quit smoking these days
And I like your hair real short that way.
I never could get it out of your face.
So how was Paris, when did you go?
Tell your parents I said, "Hello".
Tell them my life is going just as-
I planned a trip.
I'm going somewhere exotic.
I'll show you the pictures, tell you all about it
The next time we meet.
'Cause you know it only hurts when I breathe.
When I make believe
That maybe he truly needs me.
It only hurts here and there.
Why doesn't he care?
Doesn't he ever miss me?
It only hurts me when I breathe.
"So whatcha doing tomorrow night?
Let's have a drink. I won't bite."
He said, "Sure let me just run it by...my wife."
'Cause you know it only hurts when I breathe.
When I make believe
That maybe he truly needs me.
It only hurts here and there.
Why doesn't he care?
Doesn't he ever miss me?
It only hurts me when I breathe.
